Changing Jupiter

The Town of Jupiter has come a long way from a pioneer village for fishermen and animal trappers during the turn of the 20th century, to an incorporated township in the 1920’s, and a bedroom community in the post World War II era. Now one of the most desirable places to live in the State of Florida, the Town of Jupiter has experienced tremendous change and growth.

In the 2010 Census, Jupiter's total permanent population was 55,156 and there were 23,920 occupied households. The 2019 University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research Total Permanent Population Estimate totaled 62,497.
